I walked to work! For the first time since I moved the office. It was about 2 miles. Brandy walked with me since she comes to the office with me now. Woo! She's already fast asleep.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
While you're there can you return the curved shower curtain bar I bought that was too long for our shower?
Sure!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Will the alarm go off if you open the car with the key? Good luck. It's after 9, at least, so I wouldn't worry about the neighbors waking with the alarm.

sj, I suppose your owner's manual is in the car? Maybe there's a copy on the web that would tell you what to do if your fob has no juice?

I live in fear for our alarm going off at weird times, sj. The owner's manual might have some suggestions?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Normally, I'd be irritated at having to de-snow my car and drive to school, except that I don't have to, because I have a snow day.
SNOW DAY!!!
One of the perks of teaching, which is good, as I was about ready to hide with a blow gun and sedatives and create a pile of unconscious children.

Well, I'm in DC and we have our first snow of the winter. It's more like a heavy frost in town ... but, as usual, the people have gone batshit. Traffic was insane (more so than usual), the bus was packed with people who don't normally take the bus, people were bundled up as though on an expedition to the pole (north or south, take your pick ... but no sled dogs). Took me longer than usual to get to work and I had to bus part way and take the Metro for the rest. I'm thinking they'd take a rain of toads with less hysteria.

Yay, alarm wasn't set! I don't think my car manual would have helped since the alarm wasn't factory installed.
ION, the landlords apparently suck at cleaning up a parking lot. It's all icey.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I remember that about DC.
I think everyone should be required to bring 1 sled dog, so, if something happens, they can pull the bus. Although, then, you'd probably need to adapt the bus, put runners on it, but this is SNOW we're talking about, and no expense is too extravagant.

We're at the can't-see-the-ground point. (Well. The can't-see-the-road point, anyway. I can still see grass.) I checked again, just to see if they'd changed their minds, but no. Guess it's time to get in the car and head down the mountain. Slowly. Wonder how many kids will actually be there?
It's not actually that the snow's that bad -- it's that I've been told repeatedly, by kids and teachers and county administrators, that due to the rural roads the buses have to travel, they tend to cancel school as soon as there's one snowflake. So what the hell is going on here?
